Is there any (GUI) application like lan surfer or advanced ip scanner in Ubuntu 12.10 to find out shared folders over LAN ?

You can use Nmap.

Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service up-time.1

To install Nmap, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below:

sudo apt-get install nmap

Or you can download it Here

For a GUI solution, you can use Zenmap. Zenmap is the official cross-platform GUI for the Nmap Security Scanner.

To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below:

sudo apt-get install zenmap

Or install from the Ubuntu Software Center.
